Old fat white dude. Trying to come to terms with living in a country that is 50% willfully ignorant and hateful. Proud atheist becoming more and more anti religion (faith/belief is a slightly different conversation). Nullius in verba
Wait until the MAGA idiots find out they can’t get their Pepsi and Funyuns. Amazing where the party of “personal responsibility” and “you can’t make me wear a mask” has gotten to.

It is very simple. In order for sex to not be rape it needs to be consensual. The lowest legal age of consent anywhere in the US is 16. None of these girls in the pictures could give legal consent. Full stop. IT WAS RAPE, every single time. Don’t dance around it. And all should be held to account

Well if Pammy Jo and the DOJ say it, it must be true! When you have pages and pages, whole files that are completely blacked out, that’s not about the victims. And since the administration has called every one of the survivors who have come forward liars, they don’t really care anyway. 1/

Well that’s a great way to start the day! Gonna walk around singing “Golda yeer” all day!
If this song doesn't put some pep in your step and a smile on your heart you might want to have your companions pinch you to make sure you're alive.

I am not truly petty about many things. MAGA voters finding out, hateful bigots getting handed their pride and……. Notre Dame out and James Madison in! It tickles me still. What did the Fightin’ Irish do to make God hate them?

We are in a recession. You know how I know this? Because Orange Shitshispants has ordered all economic data for the last 2 months not to be released. Jobs, GDP, CPI are all now a mystery. However other orgs do track and release this info and it looks bleak.

Pretty hard to top John Mitchell. I mean Pammy Jo has done more, and would probably have more charges against her but she is such an idiot, does it out in the open. Mitchell knew exactly what he was doing and did it better and more covertly and almost got away with it.

I have a new theory about why all the Sabre rattling over Venezuela. Clearly it’s about oil but not just to get American companies in but also to get crude oil prices up. The market hates war. The Saudis have a target price of $100 a bl, current at $60. Once againTrump dancing to the music of MbS.

You don’t have to be an epidemiologist to read this chart. But apparently no one in the current administration is able to do it. VACCINATE. YOUR. KIDS.

I can’t imagine Orange Shitshispants would ever stop someone and say “I’m sorry what does that mean”. To be so smart and confident that he can admit this is staggering in this day and age. He is a true leader.
completely outside of politics, this is so charming
